<p>are there a lot of papers or more exams??–and—how are the exams, are they hard, do people complain about them a lot?</p>
<p>Each professor runs their class differently. If there is a specific class you want to know about you can get on the NEU website and download the syllabus from that teacher for that class.</p>
<p>Its just like in high school. In a particular class, there are some hard tests, some easy tests. Some tough paper topics, some easy paper topics. Overall, there are some professors who give a lot of hard tests and there are some who give a lot of easy tests. It all depends on your strengths, your major, your classes, etc. </p>
<p>There are not a lot of papers in engineering, but there are in criminal justice. There are a lot of quizzes/exams in engineering that can be difficult. Again, it all depends. In college writing, your whole grade is determined by 4 essays. In Calc III, your grade comes from weekly quizzes, homeworks, labs, tests, and final exam. You’ll find in almost any math/science class, you have one quiz each week and a test maybe every three or four weeks depending on if there is a midterm. My calc II class grade was determined by the midterm, final, and quizzes.</p>
